If you could start a private team who would you sign? 250 guys only. Doesn't matter who they ride for currently they are all hypothetical free agents. 3 rider limit. What gear would you have your guys in and what manufacturer would you choose? Also what title sponsor would you want?
My team would be Forkner, Cianciarulo and Plessinger. Wearing Fox head to toe. Riding Kawasaki's with a Chevrolet bow tie on the shroud.

ALiAS
Forkner, Bloss, Taft
Potential title sponsors: Verizon, Aquafina water, or Addidas

Rockstar Yamaha FMF
Seven gear
Kenny Adams - General Mgr./HMFIC
Matt Goerke as The Rider-Mgr that keeps an eye on the riders/reserve rider if someone gets hurt. He'd be the actual Team Co-Mgr. Handles rider travel, lodging...etc. "Rider Logistics". Matt has to race a 450 in Canada in the summer, tho. He promised.
J.R. Boyd as Team Engineer/Bikes Boss Team Co-Mgr. All logistics for bikes, mechanics & equipment. They're his bikes. The riders just get to borrow them. Mechanics, send resumes to JR.
Jamie Ellis in charge of Engines. Period. Pipes are his choice, too.
ML -Miguel- 512 in charge of chassis working with whatever suspension co. he picks...I'm guessing Enzo/KYB. Matt will be involved, too. The guy is a test-nut!
Bikes: whatever brand is the easiest to work with. Period. I've got Jamie building the engines...it don't matter what brand we're on. Period.

Bills Pipes, Rekluse, Dunlop, FXR Gear, individual boot and helmet deals.
But either way bowers would be one of my picks. I guess maybe forkner but we really have no clue how he will do and I would say Craig also. I will come back to adjust this when I see a list
Ok saw a half assed list. Only other guy I may consider is colt nichols or however you spell his name.

Okay so I'll go Blake Wharton (unique rider who was liked by most and yet if you meet him on the street he doesn't seem like an MX rider!) but the dude can ride!
Austin Stroup! A comeback story earned! I think most can relate to this dude his worked hard to come back so his earned a ride on my team!
And for laughs! Off course! Jason Lawrence!!! I can't not pick him! It's a 3rd spot and I'm sure he will bring PR!!
I'd say we throw them on yamahas!
Gear have to be Shift! Fox boots & bell helmets! Dragon googles
Title sponsor rockstar represents these dudes'
I guarantee it will be the most popular spot come the pit party!

Well, if I wanted to do this right, have a good time doing it, with the right people, again...HAVE FUN DOING IT!
Who & What do I NEED and actually WANT...And...YES! I had a blast writing it. For now, It's pure fiction in this current world we live in.
But, maybe. Someday.
I was waiting for someone to ask my "Why Zach?" or "Why Goerke? They both are amazing athletes and create a VERY positive environment. Not to mention, they're FAST!
